April Book Club Pick: "The Secretes of Happy Families"

Whew! This year’s admissions season is behind us and hopefully, you and your family are celebrating what the Fall will look like. To help position your family for success going into summer and a new back-to-school routine, we are recommending “The Secrets of Happy Families,” a 2022 bestseller from author Bruce Feiler.

Family dynamics are ever-changing as children grow, and most times, it can be really challenging to navigate. This book offers practical solutions to everyday problems (like getting out the door on time in the morning), and also offers up a ton of humor -- making this a great read to hand to your partner in order to get everyone on the same page.

• What should be on your morning checklist? 

• How can you change your morning routine to create a stress free start to your day?

• How do you feel about family meetings?

 Tip: Ask three questions:

• 1. What went well in our family this week?

• 2. What didn’t go well?

• 3. What will we agree to work on in the week ahead?

• 4. What's your family mission statement?

• 5. What does being an agile family mean to you?
